I don't know about that. How many people have "signed up" and are essentially transmitting their identity to google every time they search?

Even if you never use Google+ anymore, they've still got the browsing habits of the internet cognoscenti until people stop using their gmail and clear their cookies.

Didn't that already happen with any other Google service, like GMail or Google Docs? Log in, Google can track you.

Yes, but knowing the habits of "somename2000@gmail.com" is a lot less useful than knowing the habits of "John Doe, Vice President at Acme Computing"
